The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the foremost social science universities in the world. LSE is a vibrant and cosmopolitan community in the heart of London,ser with a diverse staff and student body.

The Human Resources Division supports approximately 5,000 staff and works hard to make LSE a great place to work as well as study.
